As long as the site isn't true-blue porn, I wouldn't sweat it. In other words: if the site caters to people looking to hook-up, no big deal. If the site caters to people looking to pleasure themselves, this is perhaps a problem.

Of course, if you're asking this question it sort of indicates that the site is seedier than you're letting on or perhaps it is seedier than you want to admit. :)

Why? Because some people get bent out of shape at the thought of other people jerking off?

How is this a problem?

Is it also a problem to do work for a religious Web site? A pro-gay rights site? An anti-gay rights site?

There's always someone somewhere who's going to take issue with who you work for or what you do.

It's problem to the extent that just living your life as you chose and believing what you chose to believe are problems.

I.e., that's life.
